The Game

Review: The Game - Scott Kershaw - May 2022

One of my favourite genres is thrillers and I loved the whole "game/ revenge" type reads. This book starts with our five players having someone they love kidnapped. They are each thrown into a world known as "The Game" and given coordinates to a place in the UK.  Two of them are from the UK, two are from the US, and one is from France. We have Maggie whose son Jackson has been kidnapped, Sarah whose daughter Hannah, Linda with her daughter Alyssa, Brett whose best friend Craig is among those kidnapped, and lastly Noah's fiancée Sofia. Each person has no idea why their loved ones have been taken. The group ends up in the backwoods of England in a small inn called The Gamekeeper's Inn and is given clues to find their loved ones. The group must work as a team to get across the line otherwise if they don't make their deadlines, their loved ones will be killed. The final clue leads them to Player #6 who holds the key to the game and we learn that all the characters have a connection to Player #6 in one way or another and that this game was a game of revenge for one of the players, but which player is holding all the cards and will their loved ones be safe as people from both the kidnapped ones and the players will be killed before the night is out. I have to admit I did like this book overall but felt that the ending fell flat for me as we had this amazing build-up and then nothing.
If you love revenge books and scavenger hunts, then The Game by Scott Kershaw is the read for you.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
